A man with long dreadlocks sits on a leopard-print seat, wearing a saffron shawl and a yellow-orange marigold garland; he is reaching out to take an open booklet. Standing around him are three men in saffron shawls: one in a white shirt and glasses gesturing toward the booklet, one in a checked shirt holding a booklet, and a bald man with a red-brown shawl and a beaded necklace. A young man in a saffron dhoti-style garment with a gold chain stands beside them. A cameraman films in the background. Gold ornamental objects and a brass pot sit nearby.
